Only Jedi Knights and Masters could be Generals. Ahsoka never became an official “Knight” under the Order (although she far exceeded many of the “Masters” on the council). If it wasn’t for the Jedi Council being dumbasses, she likely would have had her trials to become a Knight shortly before she left the order.
They didn’t seem to fill quite the same role as modern generals, as we usually saw them leading troops into battle directly rather than overseeing large strategic battle groups or delegating orders to subordinates, but even in the films, the Jedi were directly referred to as generals during the Clone Wars.
All* jedi were made generals during the clone wars.
*Wording on the wookieepedia article makes it sound like not all of them and padawans were just commanders. But iirc all the jedi in the show were generals and at least for the sake of this comment Anakin was a general.
You should. There’s a lot of good stuff in there, including some genuinely fantastic animation work, especially in the later seasons.
Imo its biggest success is developing Anakin’s character to something above a petulant child. It also shows how much work palpy put into wololoing Anakin. With the show’s stories inserted between movies 2 and 3 as extended context, his decision to turn against the order becomes the logical conclusion of a long series of serious disagreements and extensive grooming, rather than one or two childish tantrums fueled by a little talk with a sly old man.
I don’t know all the Star Wars lore, but Anakin describing himself as a “general” is interesting. Did he lead armies?
Even Ashoka had the rank of General. Underneath Anakin, obviously, but still, a General.
Giving a General rank to teenage Padawans probably should have been a sign .
Ahsoka was a Commander. Not a General.

Age is just a number when deciding on letting a space wizard lead an army.
All the helmets painted with her markings…

“General Kenobi!”
You’re a bold one!

All the Jedi on the front lines were effectively in charge of the clone battalions.

Basically yes.
I think he might’ve in the clone wars, but I haven’t watched much of the Clone Wars show tbh.
